You can never have too much ammo - unless you're swimming, or on fire. - JSOP, 2010

Well, that is not really a good reason. You have to have a better reason for that, I would think. Our shop/company has been using EF 5 and 6 with great results. We recently went to Code First, and I like that too, despite my initial hesitation...to change.

Dapper is written in C# which is from Microsoft too :-)

It's always been a good reason in the past. And I like living in the past.

C# is simply a copy of java, but without the cross-platform capabilities.

Besides all of the above, I didn't ask if anyone had used EF.

I looked in NuGet, and there's a crapload of dapper-related stuff in there. What's worth getting?

I haven't used it myself yet but it sounds really good.

Fair enough, John.
BTW, a few folks claim that Dapper's faster than EF6 - so I guess there's that.

It most certainly is - but that's apples and oranges.

I have heard of Dapper, and that is about all. I have the most experience with EF but I am not going on the record to say that it is the best. I'm sure there are applications best suited for Dapper. I found this to be interesting. The conclusion at the end is the most important. Dapper looks to be faster in a lot of respects. Interesting. Don't Panic Labs – Speed Comparison: Dapper vs Entity Framework[^] Looks like Stackoverflow uses Dapper.

The difference is big! If you want faster you have to run your own, like I did.

The nice thing, to me, is it is a single .cs file that can be included right in you solution. He also has a later version that is a normal assembly. You will probably need to google 'PetaPoco' to find it.

I haven't used it, but I understand that there is an article in next month's MSDN Magazine about it (should be on the site on Monday). Julie Lerman (she of much EF writing) liked it.

If Julie is s fan then that is a pretty big endorsement.

It's excellent, but in large projects its best used with some form of POCO-generator such as Codesmith to auto-generate your DAL classes on your build server. Dapper is very fast and, even more importantly IMO, it doesn't get in your way.

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013I've used Dapper a few times. I really like it and as others have said it generally gets out of the way and works well at mapping your sql to an object or collection of objects. I use it with Dapper extensions which makes simple selecting/updating etc pretty simple. I invested a lot of time in learning EF and it was hard to make the move but honestly I've never found a need to go back to using EF. EF seems overly complex, at least for my needs and I fail to see a good reason for using EF over a micro orm like Dapper or PetaPoco (which i also like).
